@spacehobo i am forever grateful!

is there a … Mrs. Coffee?

@shanselman did you get to complain about how this would be better with LEDs except CANBUS?

i’m working on getting approval for a plan to start a writing workshop for inmates.
to be fair, the idea has its prose and cons.

@threetonesun ceiling tiger is watching you masticate

random: if you or someone you know has SSD (Single-Sided Deafness) and have trouble finding good monopods (single headphone) try this: search ebay for “airpods missing” and you will find plenty of people who lost one of their airpods and are selling the case plus the other one.

@searls having a large, uncached image on your error page is also an excellent strategy

i’ve always asserted that Google’s promotion and then destruction of widespread RSS adoption was purposeful on their part (seeing RSS as an existential threat - it literally cuts them out of the loop in discovery) but this demonstrates it so much more eloquently (and in detail) “embrace, extend, extinguish” https://mastodon.online/@ixi/110898662624632294

i know, speedtest is not a proper network diagnostic tool. i am also not a professional network technician.

i guess i remembered how to do ethernet.

today’s task: T568B. lots of it.

TOO SOON

@jerzone oh neat, thanks. i’m interested in this for small PC building parts but also getting back into CAD for house plans and stuff. also looking at stuff like LibreCAD

trying to remember the last time i had to use ‘sliding doors’ in CSS/HTML.

@jerzone what do you use for modeling? i have long-ago cad experience (architecture school, early 90s lol) and when i looked up all that stuff it’s wicked expensive

Kiwi Recall!

yeah! go back to New Zealand!

…

wait what?

@zachleat but seriously this always sounded like a guitar amp or something to me

@beep

remember swing music in the 90s?

@jerzone “but dad, isn’t that what a DMZ is for?”

this is an enormous city and it’s filled with so many people and if you witness them you see them experiencing joy and sadness and wonder and confusion. if you pay attention, you will see the spectrum of human experience and emotion.

and dogs sometimes. lots of different dogs.

my client engagement is wrapping up so this is my last work trip to NYC for a while. i celebrated it by doing something a bit different.

in every trip (including this one) i’ve stayed in or on the fringes of Midtown. the outliers being near the UN, or in the top fringe of Chelsea (where i am tonight - flower district. hello!) in the evenings i would go out and walk, to the rivers and back, to central park and back. the high line.

but tonight i took the subway to Battery Park and walked back.

@jayroh also sometimes if there’s nothing outward that you have to worry about, there’s something inward that you really have to worry about.

new york city really is magical when it’s 74 degrees in the evening.

the weather has cooled off enough that we can comfortably have the windows open and feel the breeze and hear the birds X-ing

@sarajw looks a bit like Edvard Munch to me

@hbuchel this is DJ.

@threetonesun @marcamos i know right? like hey, relax, go take a walk in the parc

@marcamos they’re all good texts maerc

@marcamos ducking autocorrect!

@jerzone wow this looks like a Sheeler painting

@jimmynotjim @irafcummings i have read that freezing stock in an ice cube tray and then dumping the cubes into a bag means you have portioned amounts of stock to throw in when you’re cooking and also try not to confuse them and put them in your cocktails

don’t judge a woodworker by the number of clamps they have. instead, judge them by whether they think they have enough clamps.

(the correct answer is no: you can never have enough clamps)

@threetonesun “do you enjoy your work?”
“meh.”

woodworking ABC’s:

Always
Be
Clamping

tonight my kids watched the Linkin Park concert from Madrid in 2010 with me. someday i’ll explain why dad was crying a little by the end of it but not tonight.

@rrriley glad it helped! if i did it over again i would have gone with a mixer that had a metal chassis. the wi-fi of the ipad makes for a bit of interference if they’re too close. but otherwise it’s been awesome.

@threetonesun @marcamos i still have one of their PC cases around here, haven’t built anything in it yet.

@marcamos

all y’all are excited about new CSS color spec but do you remember when we had to pick web216 so that colors looked the same across operating systems?

to anyone making techno music: if your track has any of the following, please reconsider:
- phone beeping noises
- talking. not singing, just talking
- alarm noises
- siren noises
- anything that sounds like a cat being sick in the next room

thank you.

@marcamos @threetonesun @collinsworth is this a chalupa or a gordita?

@marcamos i’ll build you a PC in it. or melt it down to make 4 or 5 new cars.

@threetonesun @marcamos but joe it’s a $400 loaf of bread that will last forever

@marcamos @irafcummings @arstechnica i built their wordpress-based publishing system for Announcements, one of my last big projects as a freelancer. RIP.

@marcamos hmm not sure, i got ours at our local hardware store, the big box ones didn’t have any. the important part is getting the right size; they make them with different spacing of wire to collect smaller things (e.g. acorns) and larger things (e.g. chestnuts)

@marcamos last season we used one of these to pull about 8 5-gallon pails full of acorns out of our yard. (then we cut down the oak tree that was dropping them)

@marcamos need nut rollers!

@threetonesun @marcamos i get the same nonsense on my bills. compared to my neighbors? we have 10x computers, two WFH people, central AC.
